Your friend, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, calls you frantically and tells you that she believes she just hit a person while?

It may be that she barely brushed someone or narrowly missed them, but has the feeling that the accident was far worse then it was. It may be up to you to report it and let the police determine what happened. Just to be sure to give them the information above.

The reasons I would not dismiss it are as follows. 1) What if someone was hit and is trying to report it? The chances seem remote based on the above but not impossible.2) If she does not report it, she may feel that #1 is true and she will have to live with that guilt.

Having OCD may worsen this as it may become a fixation for her. nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/obsessive-com....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
